Online Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy

An online Masters degree in occupational therapy may qualify an individual for a career in occupational therapy as an occupational therapist. In order for an occupational therapist to be licensed to practice, they must have a Masters degree at least before taking the Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR) exam. An individual with an online Masters degree in occupational therapy cannot do much other than become an occupational therapist unless they either continue their education in order to acquire a Doctorate degree in occupational therapy or move to a related physical therapy field.

As mentioned above, the only career position an individual with an online occupational therapy Masters degree can attain is as an occupational therapist. Individuals may choose to continue their education for more options or switch to a related physical therapy field for more career paths.

Coursework in programs for an online occupational therapy Masters degree may vary depending on the institution and degree level. However, some common courses to expect include information on anatomy and physiology, neuroanatomy, physics, psychology, social problems, statistics, issues in occupational therapy, theory of occupation, research methods in occupational practice, geriatric rehabilitation, community gerontology, pediatric occupational therapy, academic and clinical education, human resource management in occupational therapy, and others.
